May you smile upon this band
May your miles beguile the land
Cross every dial and band
When I was young, I lay in bed
And hummed a song, and shook my head
As I grew old, the world was cold
The radio was my only friend
In the California night, there is a chopper overhead
Like a deer caught in the light, I can`t help but look ahead
And I`m wondering when it`s going to stop
And I`m hoping I won`t burn up
A drop in the ocean
How you turn me on but I won`t belong
Come on, turn me on, I`m playing your favorite song
Police are everywhere, they keep it peaceful there
For bankers in cars, it`s lonely as Mars
They`re buying the air, they`re making the stars shine bright
Like a deer caught in the light, I can`t help but look ahead
Like a hummingbird in flight, I`m going nowhere, as I beat with all my might
The radio
In this California night, I can`t help but look ahead
